I fall in the >> category of the "Deniers", As Craig eloquently delineated, there is a large body of evidence and a huge core of the atmospheric science community which suggests global warming from human activities is real. Like Mark, I have been a skeptic on this thesis for many years; unlike Mark, I have become convinced of its validity, over the past couple years, a change brought on by the accelerated rate of real change in climate (from whatever source). And, no, I have not viewed Gore's polemic. Gore's "sainthood" is immaterial to this issue. Hate to disagree with the tambourine man, but I gotta. Some may recall a pungent and horribly drawn-out discussion we had on this years ago and that I was outspoken on the side of skepticism. I am no longer a skeptic. I am also not going to contribute further to the debate here. -- Dave Kruger Astoria, OR *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
